Responding to emergencies in or around bodies of water pose special hazards to citizen's and emergency personnel alike. Seeing the potential for these types of incidents, several departments in the Wyoming area joined together to secure Federal grant funding for Water Rescue equipment and training. Established in 2015, the Wyoming Department of Public Safety- Fire Bureau Water & Ice Rescue Team, works along side members from Kentwood Fire Department, Grandville Fire Department and Cutlerville Fire Department to provide initial Water & Ice Rescue response.
